Ogawako is no longer a militiaman now, because he accidentally captured a high-ranking official and made the high-ranking official sit back on the sliding pole, which resulted in him being kicked out of the militia of the 921st Division.
It was of course a joke to say he was expelled, but he was named by Tang Tuanzuo and became one of the 800 recruits sent by the 683rd Brigade, becoming a regular soldier of the Si Xing Regiment.
Within a few months, Danzi, a new recruit who participated in two major battles, is now only a first-class soldier, but Kawako is not an ordinary first-class soldier.
Instead, they transformed into a relatively rare artillery unit in the Four Lines Regiment, commonly known as the technical arms!
It mainly came from a training observation of the artillery battalion's recruits who came from overseas. The recruits were all from rural areas and had a strong fear of artillery. The gunners were trained with live ammunition, and they were asked to carry a shell and stand three or four meters away from the mortar.
From this position, when you hear the sound of the cannon being ejected and the intense joy that comes out, ordinary recruits will have deep fear in their eyes!
Ogawazi was one of the few dozen people who had no fear but more curiosity. He was eventually picked up by Pang Hai and stood out in the subsequent two-month gunner training. Later, as each infantry platoon added mortars
Artillery squad, became a 60 mortar operator!
Ogawako never thought that one day, even a gun would be a luxury, but one day he would actually have a cannon in his hand, and he would also be the main gunner!
For more than a month when he was assigned to the 1st Battalion and 1st Company, Ogawako, who was promoted to the rank of private due to his meritorious service in the battle to annihilate the mixed brigade, slept with his 60-gun almost every night, and the gun barrel was scratched by him every day.
She was so polished that, as the brothers in the class joked with him, he would just marry this cannon as his wife.
Ogawazi was too lazy to argue with them. His second uncle, who was a soldier in the 683rd Brigade, once told him that although guns and guns are dead objects, they actually have feelings. How do you treat them, they will do to you!
The 60-meter seems to have a very simple structure, but if you don't understand it well enough, with extremely subtle changes, the error of the shell fired can reach several meters or even more than ten meters!
Before the regimental commander issued the order to break through the gap, penetrate, divide and encircle the enemy, the battalions and companies that had already formed a tendency to encircle the 39th Infantry Brigade had already carried out small-scale infiltrations in advance!
Kawako's five-person artillery team had followed an infantry squad to form a 20-person infiltration team. By climbing over the mountains and bypassing the Japanese defense lines, they conducted infiltration reconnaissance into the enemy's interior.
The main purpose was to find out the way forward for the entire infantry company's next operations, and also to find out the deployment status of the Japanese defense line.
The terrain in the Fululing area is steep, and the Japanese army can only defend part of the highlands and important roads. It is impossible to cover all the dense forest cover and cliffs. This is similar to the Japanese army's attack on the flank positions of Niangziguan.
However, the 3rd Battalion in charge of defense at that time had a lot of anti-infantry mines. An engineer platoon from the engineer company fighting with them worked day and night to lay mines, blowing up the small group of Japanese troops trying to infiltrate and knocking them off their feet, leaving the 82nd Infantry Regiment with little chance.
There are many opportunities to take advantage of.
However, this time the 39th Infantry Brigade was in an offensive battle, and it would bring mines and other equipment that would be used in defensive battles. Therefore, there were at least three infantry squads of the Fourth Infantry Regiment lurking into the Japanese defense circle.
Ogawako's infantry squad is one of them!
Then, they saw the fierce battle in the sky within the Japanese defense circle!
Nearly a hundred fighter planes were fighting with all their strength above their heads. The 20 Chinese soldiers, including Ogawazi, were shocked and excited!
Unlike their comrades on the battlefield who can loudly cheer for their air force brethren in the sky, they can only silently clench their fists.
However, the fierce battle in the sky did not make them forget their mission. In order to avoid being accidentally bombed by their own artillery fire, 20 Chinese soldiers hid under a large rock at the bottom of a mountaintop covered by dense forest. Not only could they avoid artillery fire, but they also hid under a large rock.
The field of vision is still wide!
Then, the infantry squad leader who led the team saw a group of people on a distant hillside through the telescope!
A telescope with a quadruple lens could not see the person's face clearly, but the style of his military uniform and helmet allowed the infantry squad leader to determine that he was Japanese.
Come to think of it, they are also watching the battle in the sky!
"You bitch, why aren't you afraid of being fucked by our artillery?" the Army sergeant couldn't help but cursed.
Even they themselves were afraid that their own artillery shells would not have long eyes, but a group of Japanese braved artillery fire and stood there arrogantly watching the battle. Do you think it made people angry?
But the Army sergeant just cursed. The Fourth Troop Group was not so luxurious as to equip each squad leader with a four-power telescope. The telescope he was holding was lent to him by the platoon leader before leaving. The telescope was marked nearly
Even at a distance of 1,000 meters, he could only stare.
Moreover, the mission of the team he led was mainly infiltration and reconnaissance, supplemented by killing valuable targets and creating chaos.
"Supervisor Jiao, can you let me take a look?" Kawako over there frowned and couldn't help but request.
It’s not because the Japanese are brave enough or have any disrespect for artillery, but as an artilleryman, gunner Ogawako’s intuition told him that this kind is the best prey!
"Squad leader Jiao, look, there are at least seven or eight Japanese soldiers, and it seems that there are soldiers on guard outside. They must be high-ranking officials! We can secretly shoot him, what if he is killed?" Kawako looked at it intently.
After a full two or three minutes, he returned the telescope and suggested.
"This" faced the artillery team leader's suggestion, the Army sergeant hesitated slightly.
After all, his main task is to reconnoiter and bring his brothers back. If his position is exposed, 20 brothers have just seen the dawn of victory but cannot wait for victory. How frustrating would it be?
In addition, let alone whether this was a high-ranking official of the Japanese army, the distance between the two sides was more than one thousand meters, so whether the attack could be accurate or not was another question.
"Don't worry, Squad Leader Jiao, I only need one shot for the test firing, and six additional rounds. It's really a fool's errand! And now our artillery fire has been fierce. As long as the speed is fast, the Japanese have no idea how many rounds they have fired."
That's where the cannon was fired," Kawako assured.
"Are you sure you can hit it accurately?" The Army sergeant's eyes couldn't help but shine.
Who among today's four-line regiments doesn't desire military glory? Not only do they have cash rewards, but they also have medals made of gold, silver, and bronze!
His friend from the same hometown who was the squad leader of the third battalion won a second-class military merit in the last battle. He wore a gold medal on his chest during the competition. He said that this guy was a bad guy.
Banquet, but in my heart I was really envious.
After a week of defensive battles, his infantry squad had made some achievements, killing at least 50 Japanese soldiers, and there were also five comrades who could be sacrificed. He and his surviving comrades had already agreed that all the combat achievements would be reserved for those who died.
.
What if, like Kawako said, we can sneak up on these cowardly gangsters without having to worry about being exposed?
Moreover, the artillery team carried a total of 12 rounds of artillery shells, knocked out 7 rounds, and retained 5 rounds, which also retained a certain self-defense capability for the infantry squad.
"Okay! Then I'll do as you said, but the agreed number is only 7 rounds! Regardless of whether we hit the target or not, after the 7 rounds are fired, we will move to the woods below on the right and no more shots are allowed."
The sergeant hesitated for a while and finally made up his mind.
"Okay! Squad leader Jiao, you and the brothers have taken a look, our artillery team is the third place in the whole battalion competition!" Kawako grinned. "But squad leader Jiao, you have to lend me your telescope first.
!”
"Here!" The Army sergeant was very straightforward at this moment. He turned around and ordered the infantry: "Others, keep an eye out for the brothers in the artillery squad!"
Now that he has made up his mind, he naturally has to concentrate all resources. This is also the ability that the battlefield taught him.
Moreover, the third place in the Kawako artillery team was not a fictitious one, but a result achieved by real swordsmen and real guns in a live ammunition competition. Although a new artilleryman who had been in the army for less than five months actually killed seven or eight people.
The old gunner is unexpected, but that's the fact.
Otherwise, it would not be their turn to follow the infantry squad into the mountains for infiltration and reconnaissance this time.
The team that can be selected by each company commander is not an elite soldier and a strong general!
Out of caution, Kawako, who used a telescope to continuously measure the distance of the group of cowardly Japanese soldiers on the hillside, adjusted and adjusted his carefully maintained 60-meter gun for four or five minutes!
When the fierce battle in the sky turned into a chase, he fired!
As a result, a group of timid children who left the cave headquarters and stood on the hillside to watch the battle were out of luck.
The Japanese who were hit by the shelling and those who watched the shelling were either dead or stunned.
That area, according to common sense, is the safest position on the entire battlefield. There are three infantry squads occupying the high ground on both sides of the hills, firmly controlling that area. Except for artillery shells, the Chinese bullets are absolutely no threat.
to that piece.
On the periphery of that area, two infantry squadrons deployed a defensive line. If the Chinese wanted to attack there, they would need at least an infantry regiment or even an infantry brigade.
However, the Chinese mortars seemed to have clairvoyance, spanning a distance of at least 800 meters and across a hill, sending a series of shells to a certain person who was holding back his blushing face and kept yelling at the Army Air Force and Malu Army.
Beside a certain major general.
The first artillery shell directly blew away the three infantrymen who were still concentrating on guarding the surroundings. Then a series of flying artillery shells blew the major general and at least three lieutenants, majors, and captains to the ground.
of blood gourd.
A series of artillery shells followed and the brigade headquarters was almost completely covered in blood. From the major general brigade commander to the combat staff, communications staff, etc., everyone was completely blackened, as if they had been roasted in a furnace.
By the time the captain of the 77th Infantry Regiment, Captain Yuki Kito, arrived to guide the operation, Major General Yoshito Takagi, who was hit by a shell fragment in the main artery of his neck and did not leave a last word, had already died.
One lieutenant, two majors, and three captains went with him to meet Amaterasu.
This is the rhythm of mahjong that requires someone to watch the game.
Are the Chinese already so proficient in beheading battles? Looking at the corpse of the major general who was still bleeding, it was hard not to think of the fat lieutenant general of the 21st Division who was also killed by the Chinese with artillery.
Although the power of the shells this time was obviously much less, and the bodies were basically intact, the effect was almost the same. Before the ground battle began, they lost their top commander.
This Baga is really so sad.
What's even more terrible is that because the chief of staff of the Lieutenant Colonel is also dead, there are now two colonel-level officers left in the 39th Infantry Brigade. One is the colonel captain of the 77th Infantry Regiment, Yukichi Li, and the other is the colonel of the 78th Infantry Regiment.
Captain Sorayani Chuichi.
Because it is a competitive relationship, the relationship between the two people cannot be good. Now the brigade and regiment headquarters are almost taken over. Who do the remaining thousands of people in the 39th Infantry Brigade listen to?
Not to mention the numb-clawed Koiden Gyouichi, even Saburo Kawagishi, the commander of the 20th Division, was also buzzing.
Of course he can immediately designate one of the captains as the acting brigade commander, but will the other captain be willing to obey orders? Will the military orders of Takagi Yoshito be the main one as before?
I almost think about it, but I know it's impossible, even if the situation is so critical now!
Really, this burst of artillery fire from the Chinese who came out of nowhere is really terrible. It is simply like putting a knife in the wound.
After firing 7 rounds of artillery shells and watching the cowardly Japanese in the binoculars fall on their backs, the 20 Chinese infantrymen ran away in a hurry.
Little did they know that they directly massacred the brigade headquarters of the 39th Infantry Brigade.
Until the end of the entire battle, the Army Sergeant and Chuan Zi were holding the gold medal of "First Class Merit" awarded by Tang Tuanzuo himself. Both of them opened their mouths in disbelief. Zhao Daqiang below almost smiled crookedly.
Unless his 'bastard' squad leader simply mentioned it when he returned to the position, he would not have known that that dead ghost Takagi Yoshito was actually killed by his own soldiers.
Fortunately, after the war, Japanese prisoners confessed that their brigade headquarters was directly hit by artillery shells, and they were small-caliber mortars, so they came to terms with it.
Because of this achievement, the regiment headquarters awarded him 2 first-class battle merits and 4 third-class battle merits in one go. Look at the envious blue eyes and expressions of Qian Dazhu, Wei Donglai, Cai Yongguan, and Li Jijin.
Captain Zhao Dal, who was originally not that rich, could only give it a symbolic boost.
Not for anything else, just for show!
Anyway, because of Kawako's "I am the master gunner" operation, the moment the air battle was not over, the surrounded 39th Infantry Brigade was already leaderless, even if the commander of the 20th Division finally appointed a new agent.
Brigade commander, the overall tactical execution of the 39th Infantry Brigade has also dropped by at least two levels, and it is inevitable that morale will fall to the bottom.
This was an excellent start for the subsequent ground annihilation battle, and also reduced casualties by at least one-third for the Fourth Army Regiment and the 17th Division.
Isn't it because of this? How can a "first-class combat merit" with only 20 people in the whole group be so good?
Of course, the glory that belongs to the soldier will come after the war. At this time, the most miserable man on the battlefield is actually Li Dengxing. He was pushed to the position he wanted to be the most, but
Now he just feels hot on his feet!
Because, from now on, the 39th Infantry Brigade will not have any assistance, and they will have to face the bombardment of the Chinese artillery group and the impact of more than 10,000 infantry.
The air battle actually ended after the Chinese fighter planes, in conjunction with ground anti-aircraft firepower, killed most of the low-altitude fighters.
Huang Xinrui's "Tian Ji Horse Racing" tactic was a great success, but the Japanese on the ground and in the air still wanted to struggle.
Watching the "turkeys" painted red in the sky falling one after another, Li Dengxingyi's face was uglier than his dead mother.
If he had a choice, he even had the idea of accompanying Mr. Takagi Yoshito to go to the sky to see the scenery!
The next ground defense has no air support or artillery support, and it is besieged by the Chinese who have the advantage of the terrain, and they are also besieged by the Chinese with fierce firepower. How to fight?
They could only continue to stand firm and wait for help. Under the pressure of Saburo Okabe's telegrams one after another, hoping that they would stand firm, Koito Yukiichi, who originally wanted to sacrifice his troops to protect his car and evacuate some of his people to the mountains, made such a decision.
!
A decision that pushed the 39th Infantry Brigade completely into the abyss!
From this point on, the 20th Division will become an incomplete disabled division, because the most important infantry brigade under its command will be completely wiped off this planet!
The Fourth Army Regiment and the 17th Division would begin to divide and surround their defense line in 20 minutes, and they lost their last chance to escape.
This was actually due to luck. Even though he lost a lot of support, his smooth performance in the North China battlefield still gave Li Dengxing an illusion, that is, as a Class A division, its combat effectiveness is by no means that of the 21st Division.
The second-tier scumbags can't beat you, so just holding on for five or six days isn't too much!
He obviously doesn't know that the reason why the Japanese A-type division can easily defeat the Chinese army is because it has the advantage of heavy firepower and air support. If the firepower and equipment of both sides are equalized, because of the quality of the soldiers, the Japanese A-type division
The team may win, but winning is also very difficult!
But if this situation is reversed, and the Chinese side has the upper hand in terms of firepower and numbers, especially the Chinese army such as the Si Xing Regiment and the 17th Division, which are also composed of veterans of hundreds of battles, then the so-called Class A divisions are really
It's not enough to see.
At this time, the chase in the sky is coming to an end!
